During the past year Roche Realty Group, Inc. produced gross sales of $80,000,000 which involved 305 unit sales throughout the Lakes Region and beyond. This resulted in a 17.3% increase in unit sales over the previous year and a 6% increase in gross sales volume over the previous year.
Since the peak of 2007 the company has seen a gradual increase in sales over the past three years indicating an upward trend in unit sales and sales volume. Sale prices have been lower than previous years however were seeing certain price points and certain asset classes such as beach rights, communities, condominiums and waterfront properties with increased activity.
